The solar power project is the largest photovoltaic (PV) solar system supplying solar energy to any hospital in the state of New Jersey. The project is also one of many largest solar distributed generation facility for a non-utility company providing electricity to any hospital on the east coast of the usa.

The new system will generate approximately 8. 1 million kilowatt hours of solar electricity per year. It will provide CentraState with some of its annual electricity needs from clean, renewable solar energy and substantially help reduce its carbon footprint. This is the equivalent of approximately 768 homes being supplied with each of their electricity for a year. KDC Solar developed, owns and will operate the solar panel system.

A ribbon cutting ceremony marking the commencement of commercial operations was held at the solar project site on December 17. Among the dignitaries in attendance were BPU Commissioner Upendra Chivukula, Assemblyman Wayne DeAngelo, Chairman of the New Jersey State Assembly Telecommunications and Utility Committee, Monmouth County Freeholder John Curley and Freehold Township Committeewoman Barbara MCMorrow and a representative from Senator Jen Beck's office.

"CentraState is proud to truly have the largest solar facility of any hospital in New Jersey and have the energy production from this on-site system, " said John Gribbin, president/CEO of CentraState Healthcare System. "Having a clean renewable energy solution evidences our commitment not only to the delivery of world class hospital treatment but also to our environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions as well as our electric costs. We are pleased to have collaborated with KDC Solar to ascertain this important long term resource. "

"We are delighted to have caused CentraState to bring this concept to reality.

Torcon, a Red Bank, New Jersey based general construction contracting company with almost 50 years of experience, was the prime contractor because of this project and SPI Solar, a California-based contracting company provided construction oversight for KDC Solar. The solar panel system uses 21, 408 PV panels, 3 Eaton Power Xpert 1500 kilowatt (kW) inverters, 1 Advanced Energy Industries 500 kilowatt (kW) inverters and is ground-mounted across 26. 2 acres of land leased by CentraState to a subsidiary of KDC Solar.

KDC Solar is supported by an allocation of $225 million in equity from Diamond Castle Holdings, a New York-based private equity fund with more than $1. 8 billion of committed capital under management. Headquartered in Bedminster, N. J., KDC Solar is committed to using clean solar energy to supply economic stimulus and jobs in New Jersey through long term discounted electric rates.
